White Boy/White Dog Move To Skid Row

Certified Beach Dude Moves To Downtown Los Angeles

The Old Bank District’s 1st Annual Block Party was a great way to get into the holiday party mood. Main St. and 4th St. were closed for a block, a beer/wine garden was set up, and a stage for bands was placed at the intersection. There also were bands back in Harlem Place alley [...]

Yesterday, Sunday the 2nd, was a great day. It rained rather gently in the morning, and made my morning White Dog walk very enjoyable. I was trying to decide what to do at mid-morning: hit the gym, take Isis to Lofty Dog Indoor Dog Park, or eat breakfast and sleep some more. [...]

Officer, I was thinking, I have a lot of kind of “generic” questions about life as a LAPD Officer, especially one working Central Division/Skid Row. And I’ll bet some of the other downtown readers have questions too- maybe I’ll need to do a little “moderating” but I think everyone could ask decent questions w/o [...]

I’m not sure what exactly caused it- probably compensating for the tug of the Gentle Leader leash on the side of her head, but now White Dog walks on the leash SIDEWAYS- she can get very crazy looking, with her rear-end almost coming up to her front shoulders at times… it’s kind of cute, and [...]

I have been following a po;ular thread on blogdowntown.com about the potential to have a dog park in Pershing Square- where there are many valid opinions put into comments- including dog haters, children-haters, and cat lovers. So Wednesday night at 6pm I was aware that there could be some sort of confrontation-there was [...]

My last post reminded me of this morning’s dog walk, and the last few walks I’ve had where people either stop in their cars and ask me questions or ask me for directions while I’m at a stop light (when I’m walking White Dog, I’m usually moving at about 4 m.p.h. and most people just [...]

Wednesday, October 8th, Dog Walk Downtown is celebrating it’s 1st Anniversary with a party at Pershing Square (there will be no dog walk this time- just a party). Ken, founder of Dog Walk, dog park advocate, and father of Dodger Dog and Aggie, has put together quite an event. Special guests include Jan [...]

Thursday night from 6pm to 9pm, dozens of dogs and their owners invaded J-Lounge’s 10,000 sq ft outdoor patio for a Fur-Licious party thrown by Pussy and Pooch- the upscale dog botique that has many social events for pets.
This was their second Fur-Licious event- I had missed the first one but really wanted [...]

An old freind of mine from the South Bay, DGlobeTrotter, adopted a pair of Maltese dogs on Saturday. She’s helped me raise my last Jack Russell, “Jackie”, and been around since Isis was a 4-week old palm-full.

I was very excited for her, as she loves dogs and I know they will add [...]

I am really enjoying my 3:45am dog walks- its is such as amazing time in the city- I feel like it is all my own. There is hardly a sound, except for the gentle sound of the sprinklers on the lawns around City Hall, or the chirping of crickets that silence as I pass [...]
